Did you read the Al Jazera article you posted?

Why do you think the Obama administration announced they will not train or support the Azov battalion citing their Neo-Nazi ties?
Why do you think Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) a DEMOCRAT asked the Biden administration to designate the Azov batallion as a FTO? (Foreign Terrorist Organization)

A note about the 'Azov Regiment' [View all] speak easy Apr 2022 OP

Ever heard of Werner von Braun? tirebiter Apr 2022 #1

Indeed. speak easy Apr 2022 #2

They Will Die There, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2022 #3

That's a bit overstated, and it's not like Ukraine can be picky about who defends them in Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #4

Long, long before the Russian invasion, I was a large documentarian of neo nazi Celerity Apr 2022 #23

Wrong. National Idea, in Ukrainian, using Latin letters, is NI. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #29

In a letter signed by 40 US House Democrats and addressed to the Secretary of State Mike Celerity Apr 2022 #38

This was from 2019. The Azov REGIMENT in Mariupol does not "openly welcome neo-Nazis" SunSeeker Apr 2022 #39

it's the same group, it didn't magically change in the last 2 or so years, that is preposterous Celerity Apr 2022 #45

No, it is not the same group. The people of Mariupol are in the Azov Regiment. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #47

repeating the same rebutted statements and ad hominem attacks via false framing is a sure sign you Celerity Apr 2022 #48

You haven't rebutted a damn thing. Those civilians are now in the Regiment, as shown in that pic. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #49

the totality of our colloquy paints a far different picture from your claim: Celerity Apr 2022 #50

Do you think Post 20's picture with the NATO & NAZI flags is not Putin propaganda? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #58

You are applying ex post facto framing. Also, you cannot even keep your Ukrainian cities straight. Celerity Apr 2022 #64

So you're fine with that picture in post 20? So noted. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #65

Non sequitur, plus you are apparently fine with using the wrong city to push a false claim, plus Celerity Apr 2022 #67

Here is a good start for your scorecard. SmallFry Apr 2022 #68

I have made no "false claims." Here's pictures from Mariupol. All you had to do was ask. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #70

Ever heard of the Wagner Group? Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #6

I haven't posted a word of criticism. speak easy Apr 2022 #7

They are literal neo-nazis. Socal31 Apr 2022 #8

Do you think they're worse than the Wagner Group? Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #9

I heard an interesting BBC Inquiry into the Wagner Group. speak easy Apr 2022 #12

Kind of like the Waffen SS was the arm of the SS in Nazi Germany mitch96 Apr 2022 #19

Their founder was a Neo-Nazi speak easy Apr 2022 #10

My understanding they were founded as such, but are more generic RW militia now Amishman Apr 2022 #22

No, they're not. They deny they are neo-Nazis. That is why Twitter allows praising them. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #33

You're wrong. Socal31 May 2022 #73

You're wrong. "The flag" of the Azov Regiment of the Ukraine National Guard is the Ukrainian flag. SunSeeker May 2022 #74

The Ukrainian Marines and volunteer fighters made a mistake when joining with them recently. Xolodno Apr 2022 #11

Russia isn't going to take Kharkiv easily. speak easy Apr 2022 #13

Yes, which the Soviet Union built. Xolodno Apr 2022 #14

By some accounts the Russians were not expecting much resistance in Kharkiv speak easy Apr 2022 #15

Ты откуда? Igel Apr 2022 #55

I've read different things. I do know they are fighting to defend Tomconroy Apr 2022 #16

I wrote this OP to say most of the Regiment is trapped in Mariupol, speak easy Apr 2022 #17

Many of the Azov have proclaimed they are Nazi. mitch96 Apr 2022 #20

An Auschwitz tattoo. Is this real? speak easy Apr 2022 #21

Why post those random, undated Putin propaganda pictures here? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #30

This message was self-deleted by its author mitch96 Apr 2022 #35

They're literally Nazi's AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #24

cf Ivan Gomza 'A short history of Azov and Ukrainian fascism' speak easy Apr 2022 #25

No, the Azov Regiment in Mariupol is not "actual Nazis." That is Russian propaganda. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #31

Sorry but no AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #36

You are citing years-old comments. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #41

Read the article you posted AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #51

Your own source calls them Nazis. Why cite Russian propaganda? Lancero Apr 2022 #37

No it doesn't. The neo-Nazis split off to become an (unsuccessful) political group. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #40

Except that most of the incidents the article cites happened AFTER he left. Lancero Apr 2022 #42

Their commander in chief is now a Jew. You think that makes no difference? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #43

No, you're just posting a article calling the Azov Regiment a neo-nazi group. Lancero Apr 2022 #44

Bullshit. As the article points out, the Regiment now includes the citizens of Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #46

Those are CIVILIANS AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #52

They are former civilians who are now part of the Azov Regiment in Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #56

It's very disgusting that some people keep repeatedly posting articles... Lancero Apr 2022 #57

It's very disgusting that people claim the Azov Regiment in Mariupol are Nazis. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #59

I'm not the one posting articles calling the Azov Batallion Nazi's. Lancero Apr 2022 #60

Of course I don't think they're Nazis. Why don't you answer my question? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #61

Still waiting on a answer to the question I posted in 37. Lancero Apr 2022 #62

Got it, you want to play word games. Not interested. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #63

Miinor detail: Richard Wagner, not Robert. But thanks for Ilsa Apr 2022 #66

Thanks, I fixed the typo. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #69

Here's an interesting article. Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #26

I wish I had never posted the OP. speak easy Apr 2022 #27

This was more for the benefit of some of the other posters on here. Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #28

Yes, unfortunately it summoned the posting of some pretty vile Putin propaganda pics/posters. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #32

This message was self-deleted by its author mitch96 Apr 2022 #34

Even the ADL disagrees with you AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #53

Bull. Again, that is referring to the Azov Batallion. Not the Azov Regiment in Mariupol NOW. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #54

They are Nazis. Many with swastika tattoos. David__77 Apr 2022 #71
